Shrimp Scampi Pizza

Seriously… if there’s 2 things that I love on this earth it’s cheesy pizza and shrimp. It’s the best of both worlds here, people!

And if your shrimp are already peeled and deveined, this recipe comes together in just 25 minutes. I used a pre-made crust instead of dough just to make sure my shrimp wouldn’t be overcooked and dry. The scampi sauce helps to keep the shrimp moist and the secret is sautéeing the shrimp just until pink before placing them on the pizza.

Everyone will think you made a gourmet pizza in less than 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Made this using a “ready-made” bag of pizza dough, everything else was exactly as the recipe called for (except I forgot the Parmesan at the very end). It was pretty easy to pull together, and the result was excellent! The only thing I will do differently next time is to let it cook for 2-4 more minutes at 450F – while the crust was not raw, it could have been crispier without scorching or burning. My oven tends to run a bit hot, so I was surprised to find this slightly under-done rather than over! But, obviously, that’s not a recipe issue – this was a nice pizza!
